TORONTO, May 1s.-"What do think
of yesterday afternoons meeting?" said
Mr.. O'Brien this morning to the reporter s
query. "Why l could not have hoped
that it would have been more successful
than it proved. OF course you know | am
accustomed to talk to noisy and turbulent
crowds in Ireland and was prepared for
an adverse demonstration in Toronto. l
must confess, however, that individuals
composing the crowd were far more bois-
terous and unmannerly than any other
crowd ever attempted to address. They
were melted to their course, however, by
ministers of religion, and should have
known better, and pardon them freely
for their conduct, of which | have no
doubt, in their sober moments, they will
be ashamed They forget the fact that l
WAS not talking to the mob which con-

Mr.. O'Brien could not definitely say

A REVOLUTIONARY CLAIM.
A Claim of 81, ,OOO, 900 A gainst the Nationa
Government.

Government.
PHILADELPHIA: May 16.-Miss Jane f.
Hall, of Montgomery county, Pa, and a
married sister living in this city, have in
stituted suit to recover $4,0O0,000 from
the United States Government.
The ladies claim to be lineal descend
ants of one Jacob De Haven, wealthy
Frenchman who emigrated to America
and settled near NorristOwn in anti-revo-
lutiOnary times.
The story goes that in III De Haven
loaned the Colonial Government half a
million francs with which TO pay the
troops and during the latter years of the
struggle contributed further of money,
food and forage
Daring Washington's first administer
ton Mr.. De Haven presented his claims to
Congress and they were allowed, but as
thete was not any surplus in those days the
claimant was told that he must wait for
his money. He died before he received a
penny, and for more than half century
the claim lay dormant.
Some time between 1850 and 1850, 1t Is
said, the official records i'll Washington
were examined and a sum was appropriat-
ed 10, pay the De Haven debt, but the
claimants, each insisted on priority, were
so many, and the testimony rs to descent
from De Haven so poor, that no division OF
the money could be made and the civil
war put stop to further proceedingsin the
matter.
Now, however, Miss Hall and her sister
insist that they can prove incOntestably
they are De Haven's true heirs, and they
have placed their claim in the hands of a
Norristown lawyer with instructions to
bring suit against the Government at once.

THE BONDS FOUND
The Only New Development In the Han
cock Murder.

The Only New Development In the Han
cock Murder.
About the only new development in the
terrible double murder in Hancock coun'
ty was the finding of the bonds.
Even since the murder was committed the
foremost question has been: where are
the bonds; did the murderer take them
This question is now settled and the muir
derer did not take them. He was either
unable to find them or did not commit the
crime for the purpose Of robbery. A great
many people have always held that if Ia
ker killed the women at all he committed
the act in quarrel and not for the pur-
pose OF robbery. If some other person Is
the guilty agent that person did not sue
ceed in finding the treasures.
Tuesday evening while the search was
going on a small parlor stand, having a
marble top, was examined, and meath the
marble slab in small recess of the stand
was found the $1,000 in bonds carefully
slowed away. The bonds are numbered
sic, LOSE, LOSS, Loss, ,223, ,22j, ,ii3,
| ,4i5 and 1856.
Robbie, son of A. G. Lee, Of Steuben-
vile, and grandson of Mr.. McWha, is the
sole heir of the property of the murdered
woman, if Bakers claim can he set aside.
The bonds were taken to that city and de
posted in Sherrard, Mooney Il Co.'S bank.
Detectives visited Bakers home ut Gross
Creek, where he spent the night previous to
the discovery of the murder, but they
found nothing that would lead to any evi
lenCe against him.

The Window Glass Men.

PITTsBTRG, PA, May 1s.-The West

ton held a meeting here to-day. Mr,
Thomas Catlin, of Ottawa, Ill, presided.
The morning session was consumed in dis
cussing the time at whish the summer
stoppages should begin. 1t is probable
that the manufacturers will concur with
the workmen in closing down on
June Is, At the afternoon session
wage committee, with power to arrange
the scale for the next fire, was appointed.
This committee was given sole charge oi
the wage question and each manufacturer
signed a paper agreeing not to start up the
next fire until the committee gives notice
that the question has been satisfactorily
settled. This action was taken merely to
insure unity on the part of the manufac'
turers and indicate their determination to
resist any unreasonable demand

WILL 60 TO EUROPE.
Mr.. Blaine Announces His PIans-Wnl Go
to Europe.

Mr.. Blaine Announces His Plans-Wlll Go
to Europe.
NEW YORK, May 18.-A special from
Augusta, Me-, to the World, says: Mr..
Blaine, accompanied by Joe Manley, Gov
ernor BOdwell and Attorney General Or
vile ID. Baker have returned here after
nearly weeks trip to Bar HarbOr, Mt.
Desert.
1t Is officially announced, for the first
time, that Mr.. Blaine has finally decided
to go to Europe this summer.
When the party left here last week, Mr..
Blaine said that the report that he had EN-
gaged passage on steamer to sail from
New York on June 4th, was untrue. He
now, however, says that his plans have
been made and that he will 90 abroad early
next month. His decision was made while
at Bar HarbOr with the well-known lieu
tenants who went with him.
The reason assigned by Mr.. Blaine fOI
his trip across the water is poor health
and much-needed rest. This, no doubt, is
one Ofthe reasons why the Maine states
man will travel. Since his sickness in the
West Mr.. Blaine has been thoroughly
alarmed about his health. At the time
he was stricken he lost his courage, and
insisted that aphysician be sent from st.
Louis. Although he recovered quickly,
and Col. COppinger and his wife urged him
To remain at the fort, Mr.. Blaine would
not listen to them, and hurried back to
his home at Augusta. His physicians AS
sured him there was no danger.
Since his return here from the West, Mr..
Blaine has taken care to say nothing pub
| licly about his alarm for his healthth. His
family physician drops in to see him near
| ly every day. A doctor who has talked
with Mr. Blaine'S physician, and who sees
| the statesman almost daily, says:
'Mr. Blaine is the most frightened man
| alive, but he is no more sick than | am.
What signs of sickness can be observed are
attributed by his friends to his constant
worry
Mr.. Blaine'S friends have been opposed
to his idea of going abroad, and have urged
him to remain at home. They point to the
! fact that the next campaign Is not far off,
and that great political changes frequently
occur in short intervals of time. Besides
this, the Sherman boom is still alive, and
other matters of importance are likely to
come up which may require his immediate
attention.
Following Immediately upon the an
nouncement that the Maine statesman is to
crCss the water comes the report that sev-
eral OF his most trusted lieutcnants are to
follow him. That Joe Manley will accom-
pany Mr. Blaine il pretty well settled, and
1t is said that many lesser political lights
will sail later. Ex-Governor RObie, who
is au aspirant for the United States Sen
atOrship or any other office within reach;
Dr. Smith, of Whitefeld, member of the
ex- Governors Council, and Governor Bod
WELL are contemplating a soiourn to Eu-
rope 1t is reported others will join this
party, and that two Western Senators will
be among this number.

CHICAGO, May 18.-The Ne'rS to-day
prints an interview with the Marquis
Lansdowne. Speaking Of the controversy
between himself and Ir. O'Brien, the
Marquis said:

tive information. have alway been dis

and Justice. I have investigated every
case where any injustice was complained

had not the Land League interfered with
my affairs. The statement that l borrowed
money from the British Government under
the land improvement act Of 1881, and
loaned it to my tenants at increased
interest, is wholly untrue.
"The charges that have been brought
against my grandfather, in 1847, OF cruel
injustice and oppression, ore also false.
His estates were depleted and his revenues
seriously affected yet. Notwithstanding the
cause which led TO that unhappy year, he
paid the costs of the families who desired
to emigrate to America ont of his own
pocket, while those who remained were
sustained nearly or almost wholly at his
personal expense. l must decline to dis
cuss O'Brien in any way so far as the pur-
